Crafty Carol is back again with another fascinating episode of Make & Do exclusively for Cool School, and this time she has taken an eco-friendly approach to one of the most fun DIY activities - making sand slime! In the eleventh season's thirteenth episode, DIY Kinetic Sand! Make Your Own Sand Slime!, Carol teaches her young viewers how to make their own unique and versatile sand slime from scratch!
She starts off by introducing the concept of kinetic sand, which is an excellent alternative to real sand as it doesn't stick to your hands or make a mess. Carol explains that this sand has unique properties that make it stick together easily and ooze down like a liquid but isn't drippy. She also ensures her viewers that the recipe she will be sharing is eco-friendly and can be made from home. Crafting your own sand slime is not just a fun activity, but it also offers a sense of satisfaction that cannot be obtained from store-bought options.
Following this, Crafty Carol gets into the process of making sand slime! In the background, colorful kinetic sand already lines the table to create a perfect backdrop for the fun and playful activity. All the necessary materials, including sand, glue, and toilet paper roll, are laid out on the table. She begins by mixing the sand and glue together to create slime-like consistency and gradually adds more sand to the mixture to form the desired texture.
Carol also explains how to add colors and scents to the mixture, which is optional but adds another layer of fun to the process. She then demonstrates how to add contact lens solution that contains boric acid to the mixture to activate the slime and make it stretchy and pliable. Slowly but surely, Kinetic Sand Slime is born, and Carol shows it off by squeezing and squishing it in her hands. She also explains that the slime is perfect for creating various shapes and designs, making it a versatile craft material.
Throughout the show, Crafty Carol shares little tips and tricks she has learned from experience, such as keeping the slime in an airtight container to preserve it for longer use. She also advises that the viewers experiment with different textures and colors to see what they create. This is a great way to inspire kids to use their imagination, come up with unique ideas, and learn to think out-of-the-box.
